I have five fields on my index, and I want to associated a different synonym file to each field. I defined 5 analyzers, each analyzer with its own synonym filter. When I search in field AccountNameCleanOne - i get expected results with synonym file. But synonym files are not effective on other fields. Can someone help please.

I am pasting my settings and mapping:

```auto
 "primaryindex" : {
    "mappings" : {
      "primaryindextype280777" : {
        "index_analyzer" : "mainindexanalyzer",
        "search_analyzer" : "mainsearchanalyzer",
        "properties" : {
          "primaryindextype280777" : {
            "properties" : {
              "AccountNameCleanFive" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "analyzer" : "mainindexanalyzerfive"
              },
              "AccountNameCleanFour" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "analyzer" : "mainindexanalyzerfour"
              },
              "AccountNameCleanOne" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "analyzer" : "mainindexanalyzerone"
              },
              "AccountNameCleanThree" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "analyzer" : "mainindexanalyzerthree"
              },
              "AccountNameCleanTwo" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "analyzer" : "mainindexanalyzertwo"
              },
              "AccountNameCleanZero" : {
                "type" : "string",
                "analyzer" : "mainindexanalyzerzero"
              },
              "primaryfileID" : {
                "type" : "long"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I would like to clarify a couple of things:

1. Which version of elasticsearch is it?

2. How do you perform the search?

3. Did you change the content of any of the synonym files after the index was created?
